Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Costa Rica has kicked off!
  • 5' - It’s high time Luis Suarez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Kendall Waston has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Wataru Endo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 40' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 41' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 42' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 42.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Miki Yamane gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takuma Asano is hanging Ayase Ueda on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 61' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 62' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Celso Borges gets a Yellow card.

  • 76' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

  • 82' - Another change for Japan made on 82 minute. Yuki Soma leaves to be changed by Takumi Minamino.
